    Default Biden, not Trump, imposes sanctions on Russia for election and cyber attacks.

    The Biden administration targeted Russia with sweeping sanctions and diplomatic expulsions Thursday, punishing Moscow for its interference in the 2020 US election, its SolarWinds cyberattack and its ongoing occupation and "severe human rights abuses" in Crimea.

    The announcement is one of a series of dramatic foreign policy steps that Biden has taken this week, along with the decision to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan and send an unofficial delegation to Taiwan to express support for its democracy and security, in what may signal a turn toward a tougher, more pragmatic posture for the US globally.
    Thursday's sanctions come a day after Secretary of State Antony Blinken, speaking for the US and its NATO allies, expressed deep concerns about Russia's military build-up along the border with Ukraine, and two days after the US intelligence community said in an annual report that Russia "presents one of the most serious intelligence threats to the United States."
    As part of Thursday's announcement, the US formally named the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service as the force behind the SolarWinds hack that affected the federal government and wide swaths of the private sector. The White House also said that it is expelling 10 Russian diplomats in Washington, including "representatives of Russian intelligence services," for the cyber hack and the election meddling.

    Republican Congressman Ken Buck:
    “We’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,”

    .
    I could be wrong about this but weren't the sanctions on Russia imposed on 15 Apr 2021? Didn't Donald J Trump leave office 20 Jan 2021? So the OP has a firm handle on the obvious ... but that's a dim for you.

    I think the Russians bailed on Trump somewhere during his term. They probably concluded that he's too much of an unstable, loose cannon that has the 'codes' and no longer saw him was an asset. Their interference in the 2020 election was lame and haphazard. Nothing like 2016.

    tRump was Putin's lawlessly hacked in prostitute, which is why tRump never stood up to Russians in defense of Democracy.

    tRump as a intellectually deficient and academic idiot who thought he would get over on planet Earth ultimately but ended up allowing himself to be a loser, clown and a sucker to which the common decency of planet Earth should consider un American tRump and his co conspiring GOPer swine a failure among humanity of the ages.

    Trump was not this stupid.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.
